Draschel: The argument really is not to insult bad players who used HE
as a crutch for causing damage. Pardon me, if you are offended.
However, the big offense here is the total lack of skill,
consistency, broken mechanics that HE has possessed for years.
Finally, it has been dealt with, not fully removed,
but significantly reduced. And now, people have to aim more.
There is nothing wrong, with aiming. Try it out some-time.
Everyone gets better, the more they aim.

DeviouslyCursed: I didn't mention my stats at all. And I wouldn't suggest that
others don't have a right to participate in the full game. But the
moment you start saying other's shouldn't be playing a certain
tier, you open yourself up to criticism. And if the person starting
that position was a purple, I still would have went after them,
just in a different way. But keep jumping to wrong
conclusions. It's what you do best. Apparently being clueless

DeviouslyCursed: Well, you're too much of a moron to have figured it out, but
it isn't about WG or WoT, it's about people dumping all over logic,
reason, and the nature of evidence. I would be this irritated by
anyone showing that amount of ignorance on any subject. But go
ahead, keep thinking it's about something else so you can try to
belittle it, because you can't address the actual point: they (and
you) are making all sorts of claims, they (and you) have no
evidence, many of you have contradictory claims, you can't all be
true, there's no way for any of you idiots to prove which one of
you is correct, and somehow you all think you have a clue and it's
obvious and everyone else has to prove you wrong. And it
doesn't matter if you know exactly what you are talking about,
because so do they. Except many of you have different views on how
it is rigged, and they can't be all true. If it was "clearly true"
and "totally obvious" you'd think you'd all be on the same page.
But you are not, and that should be the first clue that you nitwits
should be rethinking your beliefs. But you won't, because
there is no one more confident than the ignorant and the
stupid. I'm not set on my views, just give me the evidence.
Provide that and my belief changes. I'm just not nearly stupid
enough to go into idiot-ville because of some fool's
proclamations..

saying, they are actually countering each other. Rather than help
prove "rigging" with collective testimony, they are actually
proving the game is NOT rigged. And also that none of them

One_Eyed_Cheat, on Aug 30 2021 - 04:47, said: Much of this would be easily fix by there being a minimum win rate
requirement to pass tiers so there would be some level of
competency to play higher tiers instead of how its been with there
being rivers of bot accounts. So if one is a bad player then simply
they don't get to play tier 8-10 for example aside from fun modes
where stats are not recorded like Front Line for example. As for
new players all those years ago they used to stay in lower tiers
grinding through all those junk tanks and progressing much more
slowly so they often end up improving to around average by the time
they got to tier 8.
Medivhal, on Aug 30 2021 - 19:27, said: Agreed. There should be a minimum PR rating per
tier AND the opposite of high PR not being able to seal club
stat pad and go into lower tiers. This will never happen
though because WG wont want to miss out on all that premium
money. Even though in the long run it just makes the
experience of newer players worst because they think they are going
to buy a premium and instantly be good only to find out they are
not. They should have introduced a certain set of
premiums in each tier to capture that revenue.

FZ1_GUNZ, on Aug 30 2021 - 21:50, said: Yeah but I've seen hackers be the source of some of those 0 damage
games. There is someone on the receiving end of their
cheating that is the offset to the improvement in their
performance. No telling exactly how often that is the case
but, I'd wager, it's more than people think. I'd personally
be okay with a great performance win or lose. Because of all
the cheating, stats don't matter to me so I'd rather play a great
game. I don't care which side of the win / lose column I am
on. I will fight to the end even on a loosing team. I
have had some of my best games when I was backed into a corner at
the tail end of a loosing match, good times.

DeviouslyCursed: Are you seriously suggesting people getting 0 dmg games are
because of cheaters, and not b/c those players are generally
terrible? Granted, everyone can have 0 dmg games sometimes,
but if it is a common thing for a player, the issue is the player.

Saffron_Blaze, on Aug 30 2021 - 20:35, said: Why? If it were fairly easy, we'd have a clear an
unequivocal answer long ago. Moreover, this premise assumes the
game is rigged all the time. The MM patent talks about adjusting
things to ensure a challenging game experience. If hidden
parameters are changing all the time to meet this aim then it may
very well be impossible to use the data we have to find an
answer.
Link on message: #12907760

DeviouslyCursed: If people can "plainly and clearly see it is rigged, it's so
obvious, it's just common sense" then the data should be very easy
to collect. The data collected to date does not show rigging. So
what's left is just crazy people who "know it is so" with nothing
but their feelz. In other words: it's not rigged.

I absolutely believe games are rigged so you see more bottom
tier the better you do.
Link on message: #12907625

DeviouslyCursed: I have not seen this. Even on my main which had 56-57% win
rate, when ever I kept track, it didn't matter. However, since
templates became a thing, you actually are bottom tier more often.
Has nothing to do with performance, just the fact that there are
more bottom tier slots in the template. In other words, even the
baddies are bottom tier more often now.

It does if you believe that a company should behave with integrity.
DeviouslyCursed: Believing a company should behave with integrity is
completely independent of whether CCs matter to the majority of the
player base. CC drama only matters to the people who like to
watch that CC, or even CCs in general. Most players don't watch
them.

Link on message: #12907615

DeviouslyCursed: It's from Neatoman's data that he posts periodically. The
last thread that had it in got deleted. It shows that when teams
are balanced (between 40-60% chance to win) the blowouts still
occur nearly as often. You can see this in Clan fights though.
Teams that split their games roughly 50/50 between them still
rarely have matches that don't result in one side getting stomped.
Once an advantage is gained, it just follows that more guns = more
damage, and is easier to take out the remaining tanks.

a single target, larger chance if they spec'd their field mods in a
way that extends the stun as the negative. Using the small gun you
can get the reload to around 20 seconds and the maximum stun

Not sure I have had so many games be 5-1 or 6-1 by the 2 and
a half minute mark like today. And yes, if there was perfect
skill based MM, there would still be blowouts. You know what
has a lot more blowouts, complete lop sided SBMM. And BTW, I
am not asking for perfect SBMM, not just having like 8 good to
great players on one team and 3 on the other side.
Link on message: #12907498

DeviouslyCursed: Lopsided games have about 26% blowouts, balanced has about
24%. Since Random includes balanced games as well, the overall is
about 25%. With SBMM, every 100 games you play would yield 1
less blowout game. MM won't, and can't, do what most of the
people complaining about MM think it can do.

Draschel: Listen man, I am not going to argue ''split the

AMX50B ricocheting, bouncing, tracking only. We are talking 325~
APCR. And its the same for HEAT, 350 HEAT from VK7201 and 121B. I
just threw Type 5 into armor model, using live test, object 268 V
4 360mm HEAT. While yes, significant portion of the tank
front profile is now green and very vulnerable - a significant
portion (1/3) is also still red/purple/yellow. Meaning there is
where you don't want your 360mm HEAT landing. Nevermind 330, we are
talking 360. I did it with E100 and Jag panzer too. And while yes,
large part of green exists for easy pen, again (1/3) roughly of the
tank is red/blue non-pennable. Now also amplify your result, with
range + accuracy. Will your shots go where you want them too, 400m
away? Press 2 and auto-pen is a myth. Its a meme made-up by some
cynical haters, that gold spam solves all problems. It don't.
Premium ammunition can open up locations for penetration, and can
nullify armor protection that reasonably protected from peer tier
AP pen levels. Sure can. But it does not mean no aiming
required. But HESH wasn't like that, pre 1.12. While aiming,
definitely led to more penetration, more DPG - not aiming and
firing off shells could still do easily 500+. That is unacceptable.
Aim your shots. WG has now forced it.

to go that speed.FACT, with a measly 11.20 horsepower per tonne,
obtaining that 50km hr is quite a challenge.How do you not
understand this? I am very dubious, very - in you knowing much at
all. At least concerning this game.This game isn't vehicle
mechanics. This game is a game, with vehicles in it that operate,
with well how they have been programmed to. The mechanics in this
game, with vehicles / physics / terrain, hardly represent real
physical and tangible vehicles, and their operation, or
